2010
la ricerca rintraccia nelle opere storiche e letterarie della Grecia antica, diverse forme di gestione non violenta dei conflitti fra cui l'interposizione, il boicottaggio, il rifiuto di combattere.
Cardiac pacing in premature infants and neonates: steroid eluting leads and automatic output adaptation
1999
Abstract Background . Appropriate generator and lead selection as well as techniques of implantation are most important aspects of cardiac pacing in the extremely young patient. Here we report the clinical results using a new technique with automatic output adaptation based on evoked response in combination with steroid-eluting epicardial leads in small children. Methods . One neonate and 2 premature infants underwent permanent pacemaker implantation because of congenital high-degree atrioventricular block or postoperative complete heart block, respectively. Steroid-eluting epicardial leads and a multiprogrammable pacemaker with automatic output adaptation were used. Results . Intermuscular…

Stili di vita per la pace: neuroscienze della salute ed epigenetica sistemica
2019
La crisi culturale dell’età contemporanea è, in maniera rilevante e significativa, una crisi delle parole, del loro significato, del loro uso e del loro valore. Esse subiscono una deriva semantica che ne sbiadisce l’intensità e determina una corruzione o una perversione dei concetti che le parole stesse vanno a configurare. Parlare di pace, dunque, oggi pone subito una questione di parole e delle emozioni e dei concetti che esse veicolano. Pensare la “pace” vuol dire quindi richiamare una serie di ambiti differenti ma collegati: interiore, interpersonale, collettivo, spirituale. Nel funzionamento psichico individuale e collettivo aggressività e violenza sono gli aspetti che si contrappongon…
Educare il bambino alla vita interiore. La lezione di Maria Montessori nel tempo della post-democrazia
2014
Maria Montessori’s pedagogy of interiority carried out in the “Houses of Children” is relevant to the postmodern age. By focusing on the care of the child’s inner life, Montessori’s lesson offers the new generations authentic religious practices, thus responding to the new, increasingly widespread, need for sacred. On this wake, contemporary pedagogy is re-launching childhood as a new resource for the adult, endeavouring to transform the environments where education takes place into laboratories of peace and democracy.
Marshall's vein persistence: A rare and occasional finding during pacemaker implantation
2012
In adults the oblique vein of Marshall is usually absent or very thin, and it is hard to be found. In this case report we describe a case of persistence observed during pacemaker implantation.
Impact of early (<7 days) pacemaker implantation after cardiac surgery on long‐term pacemaker dependency
2021
We aimed to investigate pacemaker dependency after at least 1 year in patients with early (7 days) implantation, compared to those who received a pacemaker ≥7 days after cardiac surgery. Secondary endpoints were length of hospital stay and in-hospital complications.Retrospective analysis of 108 consecutive patients who received a pacemaker after cardiac surgery between 06/2012 and 06/2018. Characteristics and outcomes were compared between patients with early (7 days) and late (≥7 days) implantation. Patients were followed up with evaluation of pacemaker dependency between April and June 2019. We identified predictors of dependency by logistic regression.In total, 63.9% were men, average ag…
Permanent Pacemaker Lead Insertion Connected to an External Pacemaker Generator for Temporary Pacing After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.
2019
Abstract Background Outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have been demonstrated to be at least equivalent in the short term compared to surgical valve implantation (SAVI). However, Conduction abnormalities are more common after TAVI than SAVI and the need for permanent pacemaker implantation is more common after TAVI with the currently commercially available self-expanding valves than after SAVI. Temporary pacemaker implantation may be associated with inability to ambulate, lead migration or perforation and infection. Depending on the monitoring system, some arrhythmias may not be detected. We examined the feasibility and safety of permanent pacemaker lead implantat…
Pacemaker-Based Cardiac Neuromodulation Therapy in Patients With Hypertension: A Pilot Study.
2021
Background In prior unblinded studies, cardiac neuromodulation therapy (CNT) employing a sequence of variably timed short and longer atrioventricular intervals yielded sustained reductions of systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients with hypertension. The effects of CNT on SBP were investigated in this double‐blind randomized pilot study. Methods and Results Eligible patients had daytime ambulatory SBP (aSBP) ≥130 mm Hg and office SBP ≥140 mm Hg despite taking ≥1 antihypertensive medication, and an indication for a dual‐chamber pacemaker. Patients underwent Moderato device implantation, which was programmed as a standard pacemaker during a 1‐month run‐in phase. Patients whose daytime aSBP…
Investigazioni "sull'enigma" di una dedica
2007
Nella seconda metà del XIV secolo un francescano di Sciacca Andrea de Pace scrive il Viridarium principum e lo dedica a Nicola Peralta. Il saggio illustra le motivazioni della dedica ripercorrendo la vita del conte di Caltabellotta e i suoi rapporti con il francescano e con la monarchia.
